2.10 Testing and troubleshooting
The scripting environments provide tools for monitoring the progress of your script while it is
running — which make it easier for you to track down any problems your script might be
encountering or causing.
2.10.1 AppleScript debugging
While the basic syntax of your script will be checked when compiled, it is possible to create
and compile scripts in AppleScript that will not run properly. The Script Editor Application
doesn't have extensive debugging tools, but it does have the an Event Log window.
To watch the commands your script sends and the results it receives, choose "Controls > Open
Event Log". The Script Editor displays the Event Log window. Check the "Show Events" and
"Show Events Results" options at the top of the "Event Log" window and run your script. As
the script executes, you'll see the commands sent to Photoshop, and Photoshop's responses.
